Can You Still Walk on a Stress Fracture?
Yes, you can still walk on a stress fracture but should you? Doctors will adamantly tell you to avoid putting any kind of stress or pressure on your fracture site as it can cause the crack in your bone to widen.
If you're currently in the process of recovery, walking on your stress fracture will often delay your recovery or stunt it together. If you suspect that you have a stress fracture but it hasn't been confirmed yet, book in to see your doctor. In the meantime, however, you should still avoid walking on it to prevent the fracture from worsening.
Schedule an appointment with Dr. Daniel Drapacz today to discuss your symptoms and get you on the path to recovery.
